The world's oldest city is Damascus, capital of which country?

Player #33717691, USA only has a population of about 333 million and not all them can properly be classed as psychopaths. Where are you getting the rest from to make up the 400 million figure?

Rosie-knees, the question asks "the world's oldest city is Damascus" so you could see why Patricia made her comment even when the explanation goes on to correct the question.

That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin, maybe their comment was for the whole world population, not ONLY USA There are other countries besides USA

That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin, good sir the person stated 400 000 000 in the world. Even though the USA holds it’s self to be the whole world there happens to be a few extra continents involved. So 400 million out 7 billion could be on the ball

my mother and father lived there. I only wish I got to visit them. An Islamic architectural masterpiece!

lovely oldest capital in the world

ok confused. 1 what denotes a capital city? 2. Are we talking about a constantly inhabited place?3. Modern day surviving city?4 A place that has been destroyed/deserted? 5 The founding date and longevity of it being around?6 mentions in our present day records. ok what? I can think of quite a few places that meet more criteria than the answer.

Patricia, Mohengo-Daro?

The worlds oldest city is jericho, the oldest capital is Damascus.

Damascus might be the oldest capital, but the world oldest inhabitant city is Byblos in Lebanon. That's where the Bible's name came from.

Hmmm. ... 🤔. That seems a bit young to me. I'm sure there are many settlements that have been around much longer Maybe it depends on the definition of a city, according to modern times?

The question before this stated that the oldest city in the world is in India.
